The site experienced in the past several power outages, due to defects on the existing cables running to electric shovels.To minimize downtime, the mine management decided to order new cables and to take the opportunity of a synchronized site shut-down to replace the defective ones: the operation is planned for tomorrow.Loading of new cables drums at the storage area for dispatch on site:

An unused wheel loader has been modified and starts a new working life as cable-layer:

The following morning, power is cut on the whole site and existing cables immediately disconnected on both ends. New cables - which have been run alongside during the night - are connected between shovels and local junction boxes while the "cable-layer" recovers old sections:

Thanks for the comment: I don't think that anybody here has noted that inverted grille protection on the Peterbilt. The oversize load sign was put back in place after weathering, without realizing that there was a problem.

What's happening here this morning?

Apparently, a brand new equipment has just been delivered to LorraMine:

No picture, sorry. "Our photographer" doesn't work full time in LorraMine and he was busy at that time with the new workshop delivery and with its dump body handling equipment delivery/installation and test. He missed all operations associated with the Liebherr 9800 delivery, but I'm sure that we'll get in the future some other opportunities with other mining "giants" being delivered.
